Module Description

Data mining is the process of discovering new knowledge in the forms of patterns and relationships in large data sets such as for example from web traffic, emails and social media content. Data mining uses a range of machine learning algorithms and statistical techniques in order to achieve this. This unit will introduce the theoretical foundations of data mining and a range of data mining processes and techniques. The unit will also provide hands on experience in developing data mining applications.
